Isabelle

Isabelle is the most knowledgeable and experienced guide for Siena and San Gimignano. She is of French origins but she settled in Tuscany many years ago. Her anectodes and stories about the Tuscan middle ages are some of the most interesting facts of the local history.

This is a message we received from Betty, who visited Siena, San Gimignano and Florence and met Arianna for one of our cookery lessons.

Dear Arianna,

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experiences we had on our Italy trip. Isabelle is a fantastic guide and she enabled us to get the most out of a short journey to such historic sites. Our entire family will not ever forget our cooking class with you and Ester. I will be sure to write the reviews for Trip Advisor since that is how I found you myself.
Thank you for your patience with our bad driving. I am so very glad that we eventually found you!!
Happy Easter! Best regards, Betty

The destinations reached during this activity are in the town of San Gimignano, an area that can be reached by private and public transport. It is possible to reach San Gimignano by public bus service.
Yet, the public service is not well diffused in all Tuscany so we highly recommend renting a car or a scooter in order to reach the meeting point.
As an alternative, we can offer a valued service by chauffeured car, van or minibus. Any cost of transportation is to be added to the rates displayed on the rate table of this page.
